Chapter 634

"…He actually did it."

Cang Lanlan clutched the small blanket, tucking her body inside it, only her head peeking out, looking dazed.

"Yeah, I did."

Meanwhile, Yaoyue sat sprawled on the bed, her long legs draped over Cang Lanlan's raised blanket, wearing only an oversized men's outer garment that barely covered her lovely pinkish-white figure.

Though both were just-blooming beauties, their post-event demeanors were utterly different—practically opposites.

Cang Lanlan appeared shy, while Yaoyue was relaxed and natural, savoring a unique afterglow she'd never experienced before.

"You, you… sigh." Seeing Yaoyue like this, Cang Lanlan wanted to speak but hesitated, tangled for a while, then helplessly buried her head under the blanket, leaving only her eyes visible.

Cang Lanlan didn't want to waste words with Yaoyue, but Yaoyue had no intention of letting her off.

"Oh dear, why do you look like you've been bullied? Did someone bully you? Why wrap yourself so tightly in the little blanket?"

Her jade legs shifted back and forth, her pink soles pressing and rubbing on the blanket, hitting soft spots, making Cang Lanlan roll her eyes and glare at Yaoyue several times, annoyed.

Don't go poking around everywhere!

"Hehe, now you know how to be shy? Weren't you just happy a moment ago? We all enjoyed it together—what's there to be ashamed of?" Yaoyue ignored Cang Lanlan's eye-rolls, her foot movements growing bolder, poking here, tugging there.

"You! You shut up! Don't move anymore!"

Unable to take it, Cang Lanlan extended a jade arm from the blanket, grabbed Yaoyue's foot, and held it still to stop the fidgeting.

The mischievous evil foot was caught, but Yaoyue didn't mind, letting Cang Lanlan hold it while chuckling: "Haha, look—you ended up showing yourself after all!"

"... Hmph!" Cang Lanlan let out a soft hum, released Yaoyue's foot, and finally admitted her behavior seemed a bit too maidenly, so she stopped hiding and loosened the tight blanket.

A toned, trained posture emerged in the room—healthy but not exaggerated in proportion, fair but not pallid, her lustrous jade-like body still bearing fading traces, evidence of the recent fierce battle.

Cang Lanlan no longer hid, but at that moment Yaoyue suddenly covered her eyes, turned her head, and anxiously said: "Oh dear, Cang Lanlan, why aren't you wearing clothes? Girls can't do that!"

Cang Lanlan:?

???

Seeing Yaoyue's smug, grinning expression and hearing her yin-yang-tai words, Cang Lanlan flared with anger.

You, you, you're bullying the demon too much!

How outrageous!

Anger rises from the heart, evil grows from the courage.

Cang Lanlan didn't care if she could beat Yaoyue—she sprang from the bed, tackled her, straddled her, and began pounding her fiercely.

Tickle the armpits!

"Hahaha! Haha! You, you wait! Hahaha! You're just a kid! We're still tickling! Hahaha, wait…"

Yaoyue laughed hysterically, doubling over, struggling to escape from under Cang Lanlan, but trapped by a pair of strong long legs, forced to endure the tickling torment.

In terms of strength, ten Cang Lans couldn't match Yaoyue—the gap wasn't just a little, it was incomparable.

But Yaoyue couldn't use her dharma power now—that'd be unsportsmanlike, and relying only on her physical body, she wasn't a match for Cang Lanlan either.

In fact, she was actually quite weak right now, just hiding it.

Just a hollow show of strength—a silver-tipped spearhead.

In a multi-person battle, there's always an order: the first fight ends, the next joins, and the first can rest during the gap, recover energy, and wait for the next cycle.

Right now, Cang Lanlan had rested much longer than Yaoyue, so she could take the chance to properly teach this guy a lesson.

Hmph!

Is it that you came uninvited, right?

Is it that you came to cause trouble, right!?

Is it that you pushed from behind, right!

Good and evil will eventually be repaid!

Demon woman, reflect properly!

"Hahahaha! Stop, stop tickling! I, I was wrong, isn't that enough? I was wrong! Hahaha!"

"Hmph! Regretting now? Too late!"

The two demon girls tussled—sometimes one on top, sometimes the other countering—laughing and frolicking to their hearts' content.

Anyway, this inn had already been sealed by Yaoyue, outsiders long driven out, no one would care what happened here—they could play wildly.

And while the two demon girls played, in the room next door, a demonic youth with six snow-white long tails dragging behind him sat cross-legged in midair, eyes half-closed.

"..."

As the saying goes: only the ox is worn out from plowing, never the field.

In a world-shaking battle, there are always those who exert and those who enjoy.

And Ren Yidao now finds himself in some special state after exhaustion… just kidding.

Ren Yidao has always been invincible in all directions—how could he possibly have a day of being drained dry?

Only fox spirits drain others—where would they ever be drained by someone else?

Hmm…

When two fox spirits meet, the situation must be reconsidered…

Though Yaoyue is a genuine novice, in close combat she truly possesses astonishing talent others can't match.

It's called self-taught mastery—an innate inheritance flowing in the fox spirit's bones.

Huhu is merely thinking right now.

Truly not sage mode.

Really.

Ren Yidao is currently digesting the immense benefits from dual cultivation, with the two combatants contributing considerable gains to him.

A Void Refining Realm great demon, whose bloodline of the Monthly Wolf complements the Taiyin Divine Dao, greatly enhancing the effect.

Another one is even more significant—not only is he a Heaven Realm cultivator, but he is also an unconventional Dao-attainer, essentially equivalent to half an Immortal God.

Moreover, their cultivation paths are remarkably compatible, almost as if carved from the same mold……Well, what a coincidence.

And finally, the crucial factor is their bloodlines.

The Eight-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline and the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline may appear similar at first glance, but this one-tailed difference is the true chasm between heaven and abyss.

In fact, the greatest beneficiary of this chaotic melee was not Ren Yidao, but Yao Yue, who obtained a sample of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline.

Meanwhile, Cang Lan was completely a bewildered novice, carried aloft by two great figures while lying down, knowing only to move dazedly in obedience, and then was stuffed full of……benefits.

Ren Yidao listened to the playful sounds from next door, shook his head, and inwardly sighed: "Are you two children? After class, don't you know to review and consolidate what you've learned?"

The corner of his mouth curled up as he silently chuckled for a while, then continued immersing himself in his own world.

Besides digesting the excess benefits, Ren Yidao was also thinking on another front.

Not only was he pondering what Sikong Yu had said, but he was also weaving together all the scattered details.

Wu Liang Jie, Wu Shang Zhe, Dao Guo……

Tian Ting, Tian Di Zhi Zi, Bu Tian Meng……

Si Da Shenzhou, Zhong Yang Shenzhou, Hai Wai Shenzhou……

Guo Fa, Xian Shi Fa, Wei Fa, Wan Shi Jue……

Wan Shi Xing Zhe.

Finally, circling back to the present, concerning his own Heaven Realm path.

He will shoulder the responsibility and become the person Sikong Yu and the others expect.

Ren Yidao will become a Supreme Being.

Because the crisis is at hand, only responsibility……well, that's the outward explanation, but in truth, Ren Yidao making such a choice is also quite simple.

Because there is no choice.

Ren Yidao could never entrust his life to another's hands.

If he wishes to master his own fate, then he has only one path: to become a Supreme Being.

And to become a Supreme Being, he must seize this precious opportunity; for that, he needs to enhance his strength.

As for those Immortal Gods who have waited long, he is lacking in strength.

Even though he has already become astonishingly excellent, time waits for no one, and ultimately he cannot match those old-timers who have been preparing since ancient times.

Fortunately, although the Dao Fruit is nearly complete, it still lacks a period of time to reach full maturity, so Ren Yidao still has a chance to overtake on a bend.

He should swiftly enter the Heaven Realm, then early ascend to immortality, and stand on the same starting line as them.

He possesses a treasure that no other Immortal God has.

The Wan Shi Jue.

Upon entering the Heaven Realm, he will, at the fastest speed, complete the final part of the Wan Shi Jue, fully master it, and become the sole Wan Shi Xing Zhe of this era.

It is expected that by then, he should be able to use the complete control over the Wan Shi Xing Zhe ability to travel between past and present, gaining more time for himself.

Since even Immortal Gods cannot fully master a chapter of the Wan Shi Jue, finding it obscure and difficult to understand.

Then, can we make a bold inference?

Is it possible that the Wan Shi Jue is actually a cultivation method of Supreme Being level?

This is possible.

The likelihood is high.

Even the Kalpa of Eon's End cannot erase the traces of the Wan Shi Xing Zhe; legends of the Wan Shi Xing Zhe are passed down across different eons……

If even this is not a Supreme Being, then Ren Yidao truly does not know how to qualify as one.

Then, it also means that Ren Yidao has already grasped a broad path to Supreme Being at this moment, without needing to contend for the Dao Fruit.

If all speculations hold true, then Ren Yidao effectively possesses both the Supreme Dao Fruit and the Wan Shi Jue as double insurance.

Although the situation appears favorable, Ren Yidao will not be blindly careless.

Countless precedents tell people: never pop the champagne before halftime.

Because, if the Wan Shi Xing Zhe truly is a Supreme Being, then the civilizations of previous eons would not have perished in calamity.

The future is all illusory; what matters now is progressing step by step to enter the Heaven Realm.

Earlier, at the Qingzhuan Dojo, Ren Yidao had stopped, not forcing a breakthrough.

But now, after breaking through two barriers consecutively, Ren Yidao's essence, energy, and spirit have fully recovered to their peak.

Moreover, upon returning to Chongzhou City, Ren Yidao inexplicably felt a strange sensation.

Here.

This place should be his site of Dao attainment.

This feeling is profound and mysterious, yet also carries a sense of natural inevitability, leaving Ren Yidao somewhat dazed.

"What exactly……"

Ren Yidao did not rush to seize this feeling to break through; instead, he sank his mind, his Divine Soul left his body, and followed this sensation outward.

He wants to see what secrets lie within.

Chongzhou City is not large; after just a few breaths, Ren Yidao's Divine Soul found the place that stirred his emotions.

"Here……"

Somewhat unexpected, yet also somewhat as expected.

This place, Ren Yidao is very familiar with.

It is precisely the former site of the Fox Immortal Temple.

"Didn't I already destroy it? How is it you again? I truly……"

Which time is this?

Every time, Ren Yidao thought he had completely severed his karmic ties with this place, but each time, new tricks still awaited him.

Ren Yidao's mouth twitched, feeling that his connection with this Daoist temple was utterly impossible to untangle.

Locked tight.

After sighing with emotion for a while, Ren Yidao helplessly sighed, and his divine soul walked into the ruins.

"……Forget it, let me see, what new things are there this time?"

Although this place has been destroyed for some time, from the traces on the ground it's not hard to see that in recent days, some old people who can't forget the past still come here, leaving offerings, giving a feeling of offering incense and burning paper money for the Fox Immortal.

"What's the deal, I'm not dead yet, why make it feel like a funeral?"

And at this very moment, deep in the ruins, a grandfather and grandchild are secretly busy.

They cleared a small space in the center of the chaotic ruins, swept away broken bricks and old tiles, and rebuilt a small shrine, inside which sits a delicate white fox statue.

And around the shrine are placed bricks and tiles carved with white foxes, all carefully selected from the ruins, cleaned, and then put back inside.

The two moved with practiced ease, hand in hand cleaning the area around the shrine neatly, and respectfully arranged things.

After they finished their worship, the child tugged at the old man's sleeve and whispered:

"Grandfather, will the Fox Immortal really be happy if we do this?"

The old man smiled, stroked the child's hair, and softly said: "Yes, he definitely will."

Since the Xianhu Temple was destroyed, this grandfather and grandchild have always been secretly doing these things.

However, because they fear angering certain important figures, they only dare to come here after nightfall, afraid of drawing attention from whoever destroyed the Xianhu Temple.

No one asked them to do this; it's entirely spontaneous.

Even the Fox Immortal in the temple never once demanded anything, but they still do it this way.

"Because this is the Fox Immortal's last incense."

"He is kind, so we must not let his heart grow cold."

The old man chuckled lightly, then once again taught the child:

"Repay kindness with kindness."

"This is the foundation of being human."

……

The grandfather and grandchild left, and Ren Yidao, watching from nearby, did not manifest his form, seeing them off as they walked away.

"Cold-hearted? I wouldn't be."

Ren Yidao took the clay fox figurine from the shrine, played with it in his hand for a moment, and sighed:

"But……indeed, this makes people's hearts feel warm."

"So that's how it is."

After clarifying the reason, Ren Yidao felt some emotion.

This small town is indeed where I attained the Dao.

Not about to become, but long already was.

"That year, I was in the Daoist temple, being worshipped by mortals, enjoying their offered incense and sacrifices; back then……I felt I was an immortal."

"I felt I could do anything, able to pray for rain for them, able to bless them with safety and happiness, to bring them good fortune."

"Now……"

Ren Yidao smiled, carefully put away the little fox, and then his divine soul stepped step by step toward the shrine, finally sitting in the position of the divine statue.

He said:

"I still feel I am an immortal."
